"And the Word [logos] became flesh and dwelt
[skenoo, to tabernacle] among us, and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying,
This was He of whom I said, He who comes after me is preferred
before me, for He was before me. And of His fullness we have all
received, and grace for grace. For the law [nomos] was
given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son,
who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him" (John
1:14-18).

The Greek word nomos is the equivalent of the Hebrew word
torah, it means 'teaching', 'direction', 'written law',
although it is always translated by 'law'. The Greek word logos
is the equivalent of the Hebrew word dabar; it means
'word'. The Logos (Jesus) is the Truth (John 14:5) who
'tabernacled' on earth in order that the prophecy of Micah be
fulfilled, "For out of Zion the Law [Torah] will go
out, and from Jerusalem the Word [Dabar] of the Lord"
(Micah 4:2). So Jesus did not come to abolish the Torah of
Moses, but to accomplish it [pleroo] (Matthew 5:17). The
Greek verb pleroo means 'to make perfect', 'to bring to
fullness', 'to bring to completion'. That is why the Word brought
by Jesus is called: "Torah of the Kingdom" (James
2:8), "Torah of freedom" (James 2:12) and "Torah
of Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:21).

The "gift of the Torah [nomo-thesia]" of the
First Covenant (Romans 9:4 Darby) belongs to the Jews and God was
the only "Giver of the Torah [nomo-thetes]"
(James 4:12); but Jesus Christ was the mediator of a more
excellent Covenant, which has been "established in Torah
[nomo-théteo, to be legislator]" on better
promises (Hebrews 8:6). And so the renewed Covenant became a
'Torah' through which Jesus made us know the mystery of the will
of God, His benevolent design vis-à-vis His Bride, but also
His personal expectations regarding the relationship of His Bride
to Himself.

The
grace [charis] is a favour accorded by God; it was
abundantly poured out on the earth by Jesus, that is why God has
blessed Him forever (Psalm 45:2). The crowd was astonished even at
the gracious words, which came out of His mouth (Luke 4:22).
Because Jesus has ascended to the Father, we have received the
Holy Spirit, the Spirit of grace (Hebrews 10:29), which puts to
work the different gifts of grace [charisma] (1 Corinthians
12:4,11). The Holy Spirit with His gifts thus constitutes the
guarantee of her inheritance the Bride receives from her Husband.
These gifts are necessary while waiting for the manifestation
[apocalupsis, revelation] of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians
1:7), which will only take place at the moment of the taking up of
the Bride.
